It could be any of those. Getting the results of the quantitative hCG will give a better idea. The day 24 is more likely to be positive. Without the history of the negative test at the Doctors office later, I would have answered the same as Dr Marchbein. However with that history, I would get a serum hCG. If it were positive on day 24, the level would have ot be around 25 or greater on that day. 6 days later, It should have bneen at least 200 and the liklihood of the Doctors office test being a false negative is low. IF your urine got mixed up with someone else's is the only way I can see for that happening.
